AMD Quad Athlon 11 620

I am impressed with the Sub $100 AMD quad that can be used in the new and older motherboards that is running 2.6Ghz... Recycle your older motherboard or step up to a newer motherboard with built in video, that can use 4 sticks of 2GB of reasonable priced memory and you might have a decent system that can perform more processes simultaneously without the system slowing, perfect of the home computer... My AMD Phenom 9500 Agena 2.2GHz could use a bit more power, it slows down transferring files to a USB 2.0 external hard drive and writing a CD... Only have 4 gigs of PC-6400 memory, that is the only time i notice a slow down, but the Dual core will not accomplish the same feat, and allow you to surf the web...

I shall have a new low priced quad in my immediate future, placed the order a few minutes ago... JR
